Assignment for podium interview process

Summary

This test suite is created to test the core functionality of Podium's user messaging app. It contains 11 tests (9 Positive and a 2 Negative cases) and also included a Docker File to build from. The suite should take around 67 seconds to complete.

It's structured using the Page Object Model, the page objects file can be found in cypress/page-objects.

Questions/Comments

• Is there a good way to extract an xlmns vlaue from a nested.svg? I had a really hard time figuring out to do that in Cypress which led to a missed opportunity for me to catch the icon bugs with automation

• One thing I'd build on going from here is adding more custom ids and other identifiers to elements lists, might even include dome [data-cy] tags for easier cypress access but all that requires dev coordination
